The Level 5 Motorsports team\’s 2011 season has proven it a versatile, prominent team stocked with knowledge, skill and dedication. Commanding the podium at the most of the events it entered-including winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and podium at Imola and Sebring, among others-is evidence that the Scott Tucker-owned, Microsoft Office-sponsored team has found a fantastic formula in its schedule, race strategy and drivers, including Tucker, Luis Diaz and Christophe Bouchut. While they began the final quarter of an already wonderful year with the ModSpace American Le Mans Monterey presented by Patron mid-September, all their ducks appeared to be in a row: their equation had been proven continuously as trustworthy for an effective winning effort. But this race contained one wild card, or wild car, as the case might be-the team would finally debut the HPD ARX-01g they had announced they were switching to mid-season.

The 3rd round in the American Le Mans Series had Level 5 Motorsports slated to seem at Lime Rock Park for the Northeast Grand Prix, but the team withdrew its two-car entry a month before the race took place. With owner-driver Scott Tucker\’s hectic schedule-racing in three series and what\’s more, dominating them-it wouldn\’t be out of the question to assume the withdraw was due to driver burnout; halfway throughout the year, couldn\’t the team use a break? Not quite; put simply, the Level 5 Motorsports team all but compulsively seeks opportunities to get on the podium. Less than a month earlier, Tucker and his teammates took the win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans after its debut in the race and first year in the LMP2 class. With a record that better fits the question, \”What races haven\’t you won?\” at that time in the year, Tucker and his team were making podium finishes a habit.

Level 5 Motorsports, one of the world\’s most prolific racing organizations, is in the midst of rounding out the 2011 racing schedule, with just three short-but very important-races left to tackle. The SCCA Runoffs, the ALMS Petit Le Mans and the 6 Hours of Zhuhai in China are sure to be high-profile, intense competition races. But one thing they\’re not: an entire day long.

Fast cars, emotion, tension and hours of action: Except for mood music, that\’s the makings of a feature film-to be fair, one that has already been made, but also one that could be just as successful if filmed again with the same cast.

Recently, the Massachusetts state Division of Banks ordered that five companies stop selling reverse mortgages to senior homeowners because the companies allegedly just weren\’t properly licensed to sell the mortgages in the state. In a financial plan already riddled with unfounded fear and uncertainty based on misconceptions, this recent scandal only serves to exacerbate the problems associated with reverse mortgages, which can actually be invaluable sources of income for elderly homeowners.

Mrs. Minkley\’s fourth grade class joined busloads of other students in the darkened auditorium at Wyandotte High School in Kansas City. Waving at kids I knew from 4-H and my Brownie troop, I waited with my classmates. For what, we weren\’t quite sure.

The American Le Mans Series comes to a close with the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta Raceway in Braselton, Ga. The endurance racing classic a popular race with race fans the world over due to its tight competition and dramatic racing action.

Driving in a 200-mile race is nothing for Scott Tucker. Neither is a 500-miler, or 1,000 miles. Or, in the case of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a total of more than 3,000 miles. In fact, turning laps at the racetrack must seem like a quick jaunt to the corner grocery store for Tucker when compared to the frequent-flyer miles he accumulates with his Level 5 Motorsports race team.
